[newbie] No Sound in Kaffeine with Mary Gauthier video
Hi folks, This music video (which is Quicktime - I think) gives me pictures but no sound when played in Kaffeine. Sound is OK with other music vids and CDs. Is there some add-on that I need to download, or any way of tweaking the program? Any pointers would be appreciated. -- Graham Watkins It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have looked everywhere I can see and see no problem. Also, when one goes to configure your desktop-sound-sound system, there is a button to test MIDI. Nothing happens if I press there.

That means you'll have to check if there is an audio cable from the device to the motherboard or soundcard. Other players like grip or xmms can use digital input and require no audio cable.

In the first step, dvdrip rips all the audio tracks, but you have to select one for volume scanning. Once the dvd is wholly ripped, click on the Clip and Zoom Tab and click on the Show Movie From here button. You should hear the right movie sound track.

[newbie] dvd:rip - sound tracks
No problem using dvd:rip to rip and trancode DVD's to .avi files I can burn to CDr's. MOF, I'm surprised how well it all works, and the .avi CD's are near DVD sound and video quality. My question is about DVD's with multiple sound tracks. Ususally two in english, and one in french. Is there an easy way to tell before transcoding which english track is the movie sound track, and which is (usually) a track that describes the making, production of the movie? I invariably get it backwards and have to stop and transcode the other english track. For example, the DVD I'm rip/transcoding now has three tracks, 0: en - ac3 48000 6Ch, 1: fr - 48000 6Ch, and 2: en - ac3 48000 6Ch. When I started the transcoding process, I guessed that track 2: was the movie sound track. It was on a previous DVD I processed. But, a while into the transcode 2nd pass proccess, I used mplayer to preview what had been completed (about 80mb, 5%) of the .avi file created so far. Sure'nough, it was the commentary track. So I had to cancel and re-start trancoding using track 0: Two hours wasted again ;( -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well if the alternative drivers do nothing , and your card being such a popular one, and bound to be fully supported in linux, I'd say there has to be a problem somewhere with the software to run it. So your sound output is not just half volume in some cases you don't have sound as in mplayer, and or xine, or your do have sound but no volume control in those apps. If it's just a question of no sound at all in these apps, then you might need aRts enabled , that can be done inside a setting in MCC. The function of aRts is to enable multi sound streaming. Here is what alsa website says about your card. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labscard=Soundblaster+Live+Valuechip=EMU10K1module=emu10k1 loads of stuff for setting up /etc/modules,conf or whatever it is now called in MD10.1(did you say?) I think I would try some of the settings they suggest and see what happens. I'm going to bed now, so If I think of anything more I will let you know. John Thanks John, your help is truly appreciated. The issue is that while the sound card works, as in producing sound, which is at a quite respectable level, there is no way of controlling the volume of the sound except via alsamixer. And then only by the 'Wave Surround' volume slider: which is the only one that drops the volume to almost non existant when I slide it to minimum position. I am assuming that mplayer/xine/etc attempt to control the 'PCM' or 'Master' volume slide, which only alter the volume by the very smallest amounts when pushing to maximum/minimum. I am running 10.1CE. The hardware set-up has not changed since Mdk10, or 9.2 or 9.1 or 9.. etc etc.. and this is the first time I have seen this specific problem.

So your sound output is not just half volume in some cases you don't have sound as in mplayer, and or xine, or your do have sound but no volume control in those apps. If it's just a question of no sound at all in these apps, then you might need aRts enabled , that can be done inside a setting in MCC. The function of aRts is to enable multi sound streaming. Here is what alsa website says about your card. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labscard=Soundblaster+Live+Valuechip=EMU10K1module=emu10k1 loads of stuff for setting up /etc/modules,conf or whatever it is now called in MD10.1(did you say?) I think I would try some of the settings they suggest and see what happens. I'm going to bed now, so If I think of anything more I will let you know.

[newbie] No Sound with Kobo Deluxe
Hi All, Am running a Dell Inspiron 7500 with M10PP. Seems that although sound works in kde and in say Frozen Bubble but not in Kobo Deluxe. I have a my sound set to snd-es1968 with alsa as this seems to be the all round way to get sound working in all apps with the noted exception of KD. Would anyone have any thoughts on this?

[newbie] 10.1 sound volume 'problem'
I just did my first fresh install of 10.1 (keeping my former /home), and everything is working well, except for an issue with the volume. In xine, or mplayer, when I try to change the volume, the volume does not get quieter or louder. If I use the gnome volume panel applet, ditto, can't change the volume. Also the gnome volume control, none of the sliders seem to control the volume. I have a sound-blaster live card, and it is using the snd-emu10k1 driver module. Can anyone offer suggestions, advice? many thanks -- Azrael (\''/).___..--'''-._ `0_ O ) `-. ( ).`-.__.`) (_Y_.)' ._ ) `._ `. ``-..-' _..`--'_..-_/ /--'_.' .' ((i).-'' ((i).'

You need to determin the sound card and chip and whether the website http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ that helps people install and configure sound has anything to say to achieve that. I know that I have had a similar problem with my MD10.0 OS in that my Mobo sound chip which is a 5.1 sound channel chip doesn't work too well with my 2 channel stereo speakers because I have been unable to combine the 5 channels into 2 and as such I'm only geting a certain distorted level of harmonic output, not really noticeable with system sound sets, but very noticeable when playing a quality audio CD. I know that in the windblows OS's you can pass a command to tell the chip to combine channels. The question really is whether the same is possible in linux, maybe ? Maybe yours is a similar problem ?

I have the same nForce N2 sound chip as you and I use alsa with aRts and the i8x0 sound setting. It works for me if not entirely well. I also have alsamixer and kmix installed, for some reason when I had aumix installed as well I had some problems with sound levels in some channels and setting, that may be me, but it may not be me, I don't know. The quality of the sound is not that good in demanding situations like listening to good quality audio CD's and some DVD's but works well enough in general situations.

The quality of the sound is not that good in demanding situations like listening to good quality audio CD's and some DVD's but works well enough in general situations. John Yes, I spoke too soon. The new (actually older soundcard) did not work for very long. I ended up reinstalling Mandrake 10.0. I think I'll hold off on updates for a bit and see what happens.

Re: [newbie] No sound/artsd crash - don't know where to begin
I beliee that I can help or at point you in the right direction. First, it sounds to me as if you are using the oss driver for your sound card. That is ok but IMHO the alsa version is far superior. You can verify which driver you use by running harddrake from the control center, tab to sound card and run config. Next, verify that artsd, what controls the sound in the KDE desktop is set to use the same driver as you: eith ALSA or OSS. Go to configure desktop, look and feel, sound, sound system, tab hardware. Very intuitive when you get there. Next, and this is where I think your system got boinked, make sure that XMMS has the plug-in that supports the driver your sound card is using. Make sure that it is enabled and that all three: sound card, artsd, xmms are all set to use the same audio device and driver. Finally, to put your system back in order--Or perhaps you could start here--open konqueror and point your browser to /home/your_folder_name/.kde/share/config (the dot in front of .kde is significant. Doted folders are hidden files) Once there open a file called "knotifyrc," without quotes of course. It will read something like this: Misc Exrternal player= LastConfiguredApp=KDE. Use external player=false [StartProgress] Arts Init=true Knotify Init=true Use Arts=true Focus on the second stanza. It should read like the above. If it is different change the false to true. Second stanza is the key don't worry about the first. Hope this helps and good luck. tsw Chuck MATTSEN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have had no problems with sound throughout the day, receiving system notifications, listening to streaming audio off and on, etc. Just tried opening up xmms via Streamtuner, and received a crash notification:The application Sounderserver (artsd) crashed and causedthe signal 11 (SIGSEGV)The backtrace is below (not that I understand a bit of it, of course)...Don't know where to begin troubleshooting this.

Very odd. try this: disable sound systen in kde control reconfigure the knotify script: true/true/true reverify that alsa is up across the board enable the sound system and see what you get. If it is still funky create a new user, something like chuck2. Log out and than log back on as chuck2.

Re: [newbie] No sound
I'm having the exact same problem getting sound on MDK 10.0. Yesterday, I
confirmed, once again, that if I pop in the MDKMove LiveCD, sound works (as
it does with every other LiveCD I tried). However, take MDKMove out and boot
in to MDK10.0 and sound is gone again.
I won't get in to the details and my debugging outputs right now, as I see the
original poster hasn't gotten a response for his permanent fix yet so I don't
want to hi-jack his thread with my details.
However, I've seen other posts about sound issues with MDK10 on other forums.
WIth MDK Official so close, is this something that Mandrake has acknowledged
and is trying to sort out? I imagine it must be a pretty simple fix, given
MDKMove was fine.

[newbie] SOLVED: sound card problems
I don't know if this will help anyone or not but I just accidently solved my sound problems. I had the same problem with no sound with a Cmedia chipset ( 1878?). I was able to hear audio cd's but nothing else. I double click'd on an mp3 and it opened xmms, which looked as if it was playing but nothing came out. I had previously set kde sound to alsa as thats what I was pretty sure was installed but no luck. So then I started digging in xmms preferences ( right click on the x in the top left corner ) and discovered under Audio I/O Plugins a Output Plugin line which stated OSS DRIVER 1.2.9 libOSS.so there where no other options under the arrows, so I went back to KDE sound and changed it to Open Sound Server and VIOLA!!

Can someone tell me how to reinstall the sound devices? Having to reinstall Mandrake in order to fix this is not a solution I am interested in. And no my sound is NOT muted. /dev/sound is empty. My Specs: Dell 400SC (brand new) running Mandrake 9.2. Sound is the onboard AC'97. Any help is appreciated.

Make a backup copy of /etc/modules.conf Run in a root terminal alsaconf That will set up your sound drivers and write a new copy of /etc/modules.conf Copy back the lines from your old modules.conf which are not sound related into your new modules.conf You may need to run the alsamixergui to set sound levels. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
